Restrictions on Route 100 in Chesco for road work starting Saturday

Travel restrictions are planned starting this Saturday as Route 100/Pottstown Pike is widened in Uwchlan and West Whiteland in Chester County. According to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, the highway will be reduced to one lane in each direction between Swedesford/Waterloo roads and Route 113/Uwchlan Avenue from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, June 21; from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. the next day June 22-25; and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 23 and 24.

The lane restrictions are in place while crews remove the median guiderail, install temporary concrete barriers and patch the median, according to PennDOT. Drivers should slow down through the construction area and allow additional travel time, PennDOT advised. The schedule for the roadwork is dependent on the weather.

The highway will be expanded from two to three lanes in each direction from Shoen Road to south of Route 113 on the northbound side and from just south of Route 113 to Swedesford/Waterloo roads on the southbound side.

The highway widening is being undertaken through a partnership between PennDOT and Uwchlan Township. PennDOT is financing and managing the project while Uwchlan financed and performed the preliminary engineering and final design.
